How to integrate Google Docs with Yoom to transcribe audio into Google Docs and automatically create transcription data

a.fukuyama

Recently, I've often been asked to transcribe content heard during work. For example, when creating meeting minutes, there were times when I missed parts and couldn't record everything despite spending time on it. Accurate transcription requires considerable time and effort.

So this time, we will introduce a method to automatically transcribe audio into text with the theme "Complete Setup in 10 Minutes: How to Automatically Transcribe Audio with Yoom and Its Uses!"

Let's eliminate the tedious transcription work and achieve operational efficiency.

If you want to try it out, consider the two-week free trial!

What is Audio Transcription? Introducing Yoom's Unique Features!

What is Audio Transcription?

Audio transcription is a technology that automatically converts audio data into text. For example, software or AI can transcribe meeting recordings, interviews, lectures, etc., into text. Thanks to this technology, the manual effort of transcription is eliminated, and time is significantly reduced.

Tools that automate such simple tasks are likely to become indispensable in business and daily life.

Features of Yoom

Yoom can easily automate tasks without code by integrating with various SaaS.

There are various tools for transcribing audio into text, including software and AI. The reason we recommend Yoom is that it can automate more complex tasks, such as summarizing and notifying chat tools, in addition to transcribing audio into text! Automating a series of tasks can significantly improve operational efficiency.

What are the Benefits of Transcribing Audio?

There are four benefits to transcribing audio into text.

・Time-saving

・Reduction of workload and labor costs

・Effectively utilizing customer opinions and requests without omission

・Ability to transcribe multiple languages at once

Let's look at each one.

Time-saving

The first benefit is time-saving. Manual transcription can take a long time, but using an automatic transcription tool can complete it in minutes. For example, manually transcribing a one-hour meeting recording can take several hours, but with an audio transcription tool, it can be done in minutes. If you can transcribe in a short time, you can allocate time to other important tasks, significantly improving overall operational efficiency.

Reduction of Workload and Labor Costs

The second benefit is the reduction of workload and labor costs. Manual transcription requires personnel, and if there are few staff, the workload increases, and if you increase staff, labor costs arise. By introducing an automatic transcription tool, the burden on the person in charge is greatly reduced, and labor costs can be kept to a minimum.

Effectively Utilizing Customer Opinions and Requests Without Omission

The third benefit is effectively utilizing customer opinions and requests without omission. By transcribing call content and feedback from customers, you can search later and find the necessary information. For example, if a similar call comes in, you can quickly respond by looking at past customer interactions. Furthermore, by analyzing the records, you can identify common issues and areas for improvement, leading to better service provision.

Ability to Transcribe Multiple Languages at Once

The fourth benefit is the ability to transcribe multiple languages at once. This is extremely useful in situations where multilingual support is required. For example, during international conferences or when dealing with foreign customers, you can automatically translate and transcribe into multiple languages from a single recording, significantly reducing effort. Smooth multilingual support facilitates communication with customers who speak different languages, improving operational efficiency.

How to Transcribe Audio with Yoom in 10 Minutes

Let's try transcribing audio using Yoom's Flowbot.

First, we'll explain the flow of automatically transcribing audio data submitted in a form and recording it in a new Google Document!

After logging into Yoom, create a new project. You can create a new one from the + mark next to "Project List" on the home screen.

Once you transition to the form creation screen, enter the form name, description, and each item of the form.

The details of each item can be selected from a dropdown. This time, to attach audio data, "Attachment" was selected. Once you have set up to this point, click "Save" at the bottom of the page.

Once the screen transitions, select a sample (audio file) of the input form response in the audio data field. Once you have selected the desired audio data, click "Save".

The form trigger setup is complete.

Next, use AI to transcribe the audio data.

Now, press the "+" button and select the operation.

Enter any title.

Actions can be selected from the dropdown. This time, I chose "Japanese audio transcription up to 30 minutes (25 tasks)".

When the screen transitions, configure the transcription details.

In the file attachment method field, select "Use acquired value" and "Audio data" from the dropdown. Once you have configured this, click "Test" and confirm the "Test successful" display, then press "Save".

This completes the audio transcription settings!

Next, add an operation to create a new Google Document. First, click the "+" button.

When the screen transitions, enter any title and select an action from the dropdown. This time, I selected "Create a new document".

If you have not linked Google Docs with the app, you can link it from "+ Add linked account". (This time, the explanation of the app linking method is omitted.)

When the screen transitions, set the document title as desired.

Clicking the title field allows you to set the output, so use it if you want to include variable text/values in the title. When you select an output, it will be displayed as {{-}}.

Also, text entered manually will be reflected in the title as is.

Once you have configured this, run the test, confirm the "Test successful" display, and click "Save".

Finally, set the transcribed text data to be entered into the created document and saved in My Drive on Google Drive. Click the "+" button and select "App integration" → "Google Docs".

Set the title as desired and select an action from the dropdown. This time, I selected "Add text to the end of the document".

When the screen transitions, enter the "Document ID" and "Text to add".

Since you need to select the new document created in the previous operation for the Document ID, click the Document ID field and select "Document ID" in the previous operation name "Create a new document" in "Output".

In the text to add field, manually enter fixed text and select variable text from the output. This time, to input the transcribed content, click the text to add field and select "Analysis result" in the operation name "Transcribe audio data" in "Output".

Once you have configured this, run the test, confirm the "Test successful" display, and click "Save".

This completes the settings!

In addition to the example in this case, you can create a more practical flow bot by combining it with operations such as notifications to chat tools and summaries!

[Advanced] Using Yoom for Voice Transcription and More!

Here are four convenient combinations with voice transcription.

・Requesting action from a person in charge

・Sharing iPhone voice memos via chat tools

・Issuing documents

・Sending emails

Let's take a look at each one.

Requesting Action from a Person in Charge

You can transcribe audio to text and request action from the person in charge. For example, you can transcribe instructions or requests discussed during a meeting and send a request for action to the person in charge. This prevents any omissions in the instructions and facilitates smooth communication. Additionally, reviewing the transcribed content allows for accurate task understanding and efficient work progress.

Sharing iPhone Voice Memos via Chat Tools

It's also convenient to transcribe audio recorded using the iPhone's voice memo feature and share it via chat tools. For instance, you can record meeting content with a voice memo, transcribe and summarize it, and then share it with team members via chat tools like Slack or Chatwork. This enables quick information sharing, making it useful for remote work.

Issuing Documents

Transcribing audio to text also facilitates smooth document issuance. For example, you can record a business negotiation with a client and create contracts or quotes based on the transcribed content. By transcribing audio, you can quickly issue documents that reflect the discussed content, thereby improving work efficiency.

Sending Emails

You can also send emails using transcribed audio. For example, you can transcribe and summarize a meeting recording and paste it directly into the email body for sending. This allows for accurate information sharing with team members who could not attend the meeting.
